Traction bars install - finally

Tomorrow will be the install date unless I get rained out.

just got done doing the new rear lift blocks.


one thing I learned from the lift blocks installs is that the road slope will throw your front to back edge to edge rim distance off.


so part of the install will be to level the truck using planks.

now I have a jump thru my a#@! house closing.

the recent interest rate drop sparked some buyer team motivation.

the good news the house in question was pretty much empty...just need to do a few trash and recyle stuff patrols and bring in a cleaning team.

and no its not the house I live in.....my house would take multiple dumpsters to empty.
